Chapter 17 Everyday Relationships between Men and Women
Those who didn't run errands kept nodding their heads as they looked at Gu Qingshi's account book. Gu Qingshi's account book was very well kept, and everything was clear and easy to see at a glance, including when Lao Liang was not around to play cards.
"Isn't this account book remembered very clearly?"
When the proprietress heard this, she was not convinced and went over to take a look.
The proprietress is literate. During the national literacy campaign, she was the best student. After flipping through a few pages, she found that she remembered it very clearly and it seemed to all match.
The proprietress's expression turned a little ugly, and her face darkened for a moment. She thought of something and was about to tear up the account book.
Just as he was about to take action, Gu Qingshi quickly grabbed him.
In the end, only one corner of the account book was torn. Gu Qingshi took the account book back and said, "Madam Boss, you don't want to tear up the account book and continue to blame me, do you?"
Everyone had just seen what the proprietress did, and now they were all looking at her with frowns on their faces.
"Yeah, what's going on? Why are you tearing up the account book?"
"Are you scared?"
The lady boss's face flushed as she listened to the accusation. "I didn't, I didn't tear it. I was just careless. And what am I afraid of? I just find it troublesome."
Lao Liang was sweating anxiously beside him, "What the hell is this?"
"It's just a matter of checking the bill. What's the problem?" A neighbor raised his hand. "Let me go first. I've eaten there twice and I remember it."
"Me too."
I checked the restaurants I remembered I had eaten at first. They were all businesses nearby. I checked with five or six people and the accounts all matched.
The person who helped to look for it also arrived quickly. When he heard Gu Qingshi’s request, he helped to recall it without saying much.
One after another, all who could come came, and we connected to dozens of people correctly, without a single mistake.
The proprietress looked at him, her face becoming increasingly uglier, and she was unable to speak.
"There are still some people who are not correct. Some of them are here to meet the market." Gu Qingshi looked at the proprietress, "Do we need to continue checking?"
The proprietress had a dark face and said nothing. The neighbor couldn't help but ask, "Isn't it clear enough by now?"
"Yes, that's clear enough." Everyone accused the lady boss and the aunties, "They gossip about us all day long and believe everything they hear."
"That's right. He always talks a lot and gossips about us. Now he's slandering us."
The people who were being pointed at and accused had changed to the boss's wife and a few others.
The proprietress's face was livid. "Well, even if there is nothing wrong with the account, it is still a fact that Lao Liang paid a high price for her vegetables. She is just dishonest and seduced Lao Liang!"
The lady boss got angry again when she said this. "My nephew saw it all. She is not honest. She flirts with men whenever she sees them. If she hadn't seduced Lao Liang, how could he have done such a thing?"
Lao Liang didn't expect that she was still thinking about this. "I told you, I bought it because Xiao Gu's food is delicious."
"Who would believe that? You can only fool a fool with such words. You are just bewitched by her, you shameless thing."
Gu Qingshi didn't want to listen to her rant, so he interrupted her directly, "While everyone is here, ask who has seen me seduce the boss?"
The people who had just settled the bill were speechless when they saw the proprietress still throwing a tantrum at this moment, and they all spoke up.
"Xiao Gu has always been very polite. He has never joked with anyone, let alone seduced anyone."
"Yes, I have never seen him. Lao Liang is usually busy in the kitchen, and the two of them barely talk to each other for a day."
"Just saying a few words is considered seduction, that's too much." A young man said directly, "Boss lady, I'm not saying that you think too highly of your Lao Liang. Why would Xiao Gu seduce your Lao Liang? What does she want?"
"Yes, Lao Liang is old enough to be Xiao Gu's father. Xiao Gu graduated from a medical school and has a stable job in the future. It would be great if he could find a job as a doctor. How could he be associated with your Lao Liang? You guys... Ugh."
The so-called seduction is ridiculous if you calm down and look at it carefully.
If everyone was just watching the fun at the beginning, but after checking the situation, people who have seen Gu Qingshi's attitude would know that with her pride, she would not do such a thing.
Gu Qingshi's behavior just now won him respect and also corrected everyone's attitude.
Besides, they all participated in the proof, and the boss lady still made a fuss, which made them very unhappy, so they were willing to say a few more words.
The proprietress didn't expect everyone to say such harsh words. Lao Liang's face turned pale. "I told you not to say any more." He was a little embarrassed.
The proprietress was still unconvinced, so Gu Qingshi continued, "The so-called seduction is now clear enough. Now let's talk about the dishes I sell."
"You haven't eaten the food I sell, so you naturally think that I seduced you, and you are so proud that you think you have caught me, but you don't think about why the business has been so good recently. Ask everyone, why did they come to your restaurant to eat during this period of time?"
After hearing this, everyone spoke up.
"Of course it's because your food has suddenly become delicious recently. I was wondering why the taste suddenly became better. It turns out it's because of the food."
"I ate it because it tasted good. It turned out that it was the vegetable you sold, Xiao Gu."
Everyone spoke sincerely and told the truth, but the proprietress didn't believe it.
She was so angry that she bit back, "What are you doing? What do you want to do? Are you also bewitched by this little bitch, colluding with her and speaking for her?"
The boss lady's words directly stirred up a hornet's nest. Everyone was very dissatisfied and started to criticize.
"What nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean you are all bewitched?"
"Are you crazy, woman? How can you talk like that? You don't believe this and you don't believe that. What do you want?"
The lady boss's face flushed red. "Don't bully me. I tell you, these are all told to me by my nephew. He can't lie to me."
"He just lied to you."
Gu Qingshi interrupted her rudely and locked his sharp eyes directly on his nephew who saw that something was wrong and wanted to slip away.
"The so-called seduction is nothing more than your nephew trying to steal money. I didn't give him any, so he got angry and slandered me. Seeing him look guilty and wanting to run away, don't you understand?"
The nephew's face froze. He didn't expect to be dragged into this.
The proprietress turned around suddenly and saw his unnatural expression, "You lied to me?"
Without waiting for the nephew to answer, the onlookers continued, "He just lied to you. This guy had been chasing Xiao Gu before, and Xiao Gu ignored him, but he still had the nerve to say that Xiao Gu seduced him."
They all do business together nearby and usually see each other clearly.
The proprietress looked at her nephew fiercely, "What's going on?"
The nephew didn't expect that he would fail. He had played this trick many times before, but this was the first time he was exposed.
"I didn't lie. Uncle has always taken care of her and always smiles when he sees her," he defended.
The boss was very angry. "Why should I keep a straight face every day when I don't smile at anyone? What are you thinking?"
Gu Qingshi replied coldly, "He can think of everything in terms of relationships between men and women. There's probably nothing else on his mind except relationships between men and women."
The nephew was so angry and embarrassed by everyone's contemptuous looks that he wanted to tear Gu Qingshi to pieces, but he held back when he saw the people around him.
"A good man doesn't fight with a woman. I won't fight with you."
He said this and turned to run. The proprietress pouted and was about to chase him, but was stopped by Gu Qingshi.
"Madam Boss, how you decide to deal with your nephew is your family affair. You can handle it as you like later. But you can't leave now. You still owe me an apology." Gu Qingshi wanted to apologize.
